JavaScript Page Transitions

I'm building a little brochure site for a friend that uses page transitions with the following meta tag:

 

from within an IFRAME to “fade” quotes into a header on each page. You can see the effect I'm looking for by viewing the site at:

I don't like the fact that each “quote” page-load requires a little post back, or that most IE browsers are setup to make the clicking sound during page loads.

I guess I'm looking for the JavaScript that would provide some kind of transition effect, or better yet, a .NET component that would take, say,  and XML list of quotes to roll thru. If I can figure out the JavaScript, perhaps I'll write a component.

--- After the first few responses, I should have added that I would prefer to keep this “text based” (rather than animated gifs) so my friend can maintain the messages with a little content editor. Currently they have a “admin” page that lets them update the messages that are persisted to XML. Also, I'd like to extend this, and use it as a learning subproject. Thanks for the responses.
